    Main Research Fields

    Study of micro- and macro-physical processes in space plasmas:

    • Turbulence properties in the solar wind and the planetary magnetosheaths (Earth and Saturn).
    • Solar wind acceleration and heating processes.
    • Nature of the plasma waves in different plasma environements and conditions.
    • Electrodynamic interaction between icy moons (Enceladus) and gad giants (Saturn).
    • Ambipolar diffusion process in the presence of charged dusty grains.

    Study of planetary upper atmospheres (Saturn):

    • Properties of the ionosphere of Saturn (plasma density, temperature,...)
    • Electrodyanmic interaction between the ionosphere of Saturn and its main rings.
    • Wave characteristics
